the Quin

New York, New York

New York City’s newest boutique hotel, the Quin, is located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan near the city’s most beloved cultural institutions—Carnegie Hall, Central Park, and Fifth Avenue retail among them. Perkins Eastman provided architecture and interior design services to transform the former Buckingham Hotel property into an upscale luxury destination with 208 guest rooms including 28 suites, restaurant/bar, fitness center, meeting facilities, and other amenities. The hotel pays homage to its unique history and location at the intersection of art, music, and fashion through its understated and elegant design, capturing the essence of New York past and present.

The existing building façade was carefully restored to highlight historic details common to Midtown’s historic buildings, while the interior spaces are a study in understated sophistication. The hotel draws equal inspiration from its location and the artistic heritage of past cultural icons that called it home: public spaces are typified by grand gestures—rich finishes and custom-painted walls—and invite the bustling city in through double-height windows at the street level, while guest rooms and suites are thoughtfully appointed to reflect the discerning tastes of the global traveler.
